Riding a much-needed two-game winning streak, the Golden State Warriors hosted the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday without Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis and LeBron James.
Despite missing three of their key pieces, the Lakers were able to hang around throughout the contest behind a game-high 40 point performance from Talen Horton-Tucker. However, it wasn’t enough to keep up with Klay Thompson.
The Warriors’ veteran guard dropped 33 points on 12-of-22 shooting from the field with four assists and four rebounds in 33 minutes. Thompson heated up from long distance, hitting six triples on 10 attempts from beyond the arc.
Behind Thompson, Jordan Poole added a double-double with 19 points and a career-high 11 assists in 33 minutes. Despite his double-double performance, Thursday’s contest saw Poole’s stretch of 18 consecutive games with 20 or more points.
